Sri Lankan Maids Trapped Abroad for Work: The Harsh Reality of Domestic Work in Lebanon

Sri Lankan women used to be the largest single group of foreign domestic workers in Lebanon. This film chronicles three women and their stories, charged with hope and despair. In the early 2000s, with a population of about four million in Lebanon, over 100,000 people were said to be international migrant workers of Sri Lankan origin. Most of these workers were women who work as housekeepers for Lebanese families. In order to pay off family debts or help their families, many of these women came from rural areas and left their families and children behind. Most of the time, they found themselves in a situation worse than back home, deprived of their passports, locked up in houses, working for countless hours…all this for roughly 100 dollars a month! Sashika, Janika, and Anne-Rita are three women, going through the experience and telling us about it from the bottom of the heart. Three stories that intertwine, marked by the sending of letters back home, the swallowed tears upon departure, the long years of waiting and suffering, and the uncertain return home. “Maid for Sale” tells their story. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Intro ▷ 00:52 - Janika Shiromika ▷ 04:30 - Colombo ▷ 05:38 - Getting Recruited ▷ 07:46 - Sashika Kumari ▷ 08:10 - Training Center vor Maids ▷ 14:14 - Janika ▷ 18:16 - Acura Agency - Recruiter ▷ 23:46 - Beirut ▷ 34:21 - Debts ▷ 37:38 - Anne-Rita ▷ 41:45 - Working in Lebanon ▷ 46:10 - Al-Fanar cemetery ▷ 52:23 - Credits #documentary #fulldocumentary #maidforsale #migrantstories #migrants #women #womensrights #exploitationabroad ------- Subscribe to wocomoHUMANITY: https://goo.gl/5Sp36B Follow us on Facebook:   / wocomo   ------- Original title: Maid for Sale A documentary by Dima AL-Joundi © 2005, Licensed by First Hand Films ------- Documentaries about people and cultures from around the globe: wocomoHUMANITY offers high-quality content which is produced by leading production companies.
